* '''June 2010:''' A pilot project has begun in Tamoung Pha-em, [[Cambodia]] to introduce [[CooKit]] solar cookers to the local community. Similar to many other regions, residents have relied on wood for cooking. The area once surrounded by jungle, has mostly been turned into palm oil fields, leaving scarce wood for cooking. Families have started to rely on kerosene, or walk long distances to get wood. The project is sponsored by [[Global Roots]], a {{State|Washington}} state non-profit. [[Patrick Firouzian]] recently traveled to Tamoung Pha-em with the first cooker to demonstrate it's potential. Dany Pan, a village school teacher, will use the cooker regularly and experiment to adapt local food recipes. [http://www.globalroots.org/upcoming-projects/solar-cambodia]
